Citi Bike

Hudson River Greenway

The greenway along the Hudson River is one of the most popular places to ride. It offers beautiful water views and a dedicated bike path that is closed to car traffic.

Start Here

This two-lane bike path runs along the West Side of Manhattan, parallel to the Hudson River.

Head to one of the many Citi Bike stations along 11th or 12th Avenue and use your bike key or pre-purchased ride pass to begin. If you need to get a pass, use the Citi Bike app or kiosk at the station and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your purchase. From here you can either ride south toward Battery Park or north toward Riverside Park.

  • 12 Ave & W 40 St
  • W 20 St & 11 Ave
  • W 14 St & The High Line
  • West St & Chambers St
